An additional $5 million has been set aside for additional direct purchases of Bitcoin.

Still in the US, Representative Warren Davidson says the US could fund its Bitcoin reserves by accepting taxes in Bitcoin. This is exactly what the bill he introduced, the Bitcoin for America Act, would enable.

Allowing Americans to pay their federal taxes in Bitcoin would benefit the United States as it would have an asset that would appreciate over time, unlike the U.S. dollar, which has plummeted due to inflation.

In another positive development for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, Bloomberg reported that cryptocurrency advocate Kevin Hassett is US President Donald Trump’s preferred candidate to succeed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chairman.

Hassett’s odds of succeeding Powell have jumped to 58% on prediction market Kalshi.

Hasset, a former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, is known for advocating for lower interest rates and maintaining direct ties to the cryptocurrency industry. He declared that he owns about $1 million worth of Coinbase stock.

Kevin Hassett is currently the leading candidate for Federal Reserve chairman and recently supported a 50 basis point cut in December. The 10-year Treasury yield is already below 4%, reflecting growing market confidence. We believe the 10-year maturity could fall further to target 3% in the coming years.
